Ultra Budget PC Build

Budget (including currency): INR 25000 (USD 250)

Country: India

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Browser (Google Meet and YouTube) regularly. Sometimes as a media console for watching movies. (OBS CPU encoding for Virtual Cam if possible). NO GAMES (that isn't possible in this budget).

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I have made a parts list. As I said, no games. I already have the peripherals. Upgrading from a Early 2009 MacBook Pro, purchasing in Q1 2021 itself. 

Updated List:

ok then, not bad a choice, but get faster ram as @dizmosuggested and ditch that aftermarket cooler because AMD's stock cooler is pretty decent for that cpu especially considering you can't OC on A320 anyway

I didn't realise AMD has a stock cooler, I then checked it up and realised lol (That box is so slim)... Will upgrade RAM (which speed should I get?)

See if you can fit an NVME drive in there. If you can't then its okay. The build looks fine.

i don't need a 480 gig SSD as I have a 1TB HDD already, with the 240 GB being the boot drive!

I don't wanna downgrade the CPU. The Ryzen APU line has not been updated by AMD, so I do want the latest one. 

This is not a gaming PC, so i don't think that 200 MHz RAM boost will be significant in anything other than price...
